Overthinking doesn't sound so bad on the surface - thinking is good, right?

When you overthink, your judgments get cloudy and your stress gets elevated. You spend too much time on the negative. It can become difficult to act.

It starts with a worrying thought.

That creates more worrying thoughts.

And before you know it there is a tornado of thoughts seething in your mind.

The problem is:

The more you try to stop it, the worse it becomes.

So, what can we do?

According to Buddhism and western psychology, it’s all about learning the art of acceptance, reframing and letting go.

Meh

A lot of these "coping strategies" come from a privileged point of view. Not everyone can "find their vocation." Continuing education after high school requires money and time a lot of people do not have. There were several points in this book that encouraged people to get a grip on their finances and stop worrying about money. Again, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a surplus of money after covering their basic needs. In fact, many families in America struggle to meet their basic needs despite working one, two, or even three jobs.

As a fellow anxiety sufferer, I didn't find the whole of this book particularly helpful. From a therapist's perspective I do think there are specific passages or chapters that could be beneficial when shared with clients. I don't think I would recommend this book to a client struggling with excessive worry/anxieties. I do think therapists could share relevant parts with their clients and that clients would find it helpful.

This is one of those amateurish self published books which really doesn’t have any information in it. Rather than focusing on true worrying and overthinking in a psychological sense the author looked at it in terms of disorganization. He suggested making lots of lists, stopping procrastination, and so forth. The suggestions were accompanied by “case studies“ that glossed over the issues involved. For instance about procrastination the author case study wraps up with saying simply that the person stopped procrastinating and got her life together. I found the oversimplification of real issues to be a little insulting. DNF

This is a great book for helping you how to stop worrying and having anxiety. I definitely recommend it. It does discuss some things that I have already learned before.

Ok

The book was ok but not what I was looking for. It is filled with narrative and case studies might be more useful to others
